Instead, we took it easy and decided to head out for a beer at a local hotel at lunch time. (Never a bad alternative in bad weather). However, the Hotel we found was closed. The owner was a grumpy so and so who obviously did not approve of customers... Hey ho, we won't go back there in a hurry.
As we were driving towards Dunvegan in search of beer,we followed another sign (open all hours) to a closed hotel.
As a last resort, we spotted a welcoming sign to the Oldest Bakery on Skye which boasted Afternoon Teas and Snacks.
Anyway, it sounded better than it was! There was a funny damp smell which turned out to be water running down the walls into plug sockets, which was alarming to us. A2 declined the offer by the waitress to unplug it! The service was enthusiastic, but poor. The lad behind the counter was dispatched to buy some onions for our cheese and onion toasties. There was also a comedy moment when the credit card machine got tangled up in the chocolate eclairs and sprung back at the lad behind the counter as S let it go, after attempting to pay. The credit card failed the first couple of attempts due to his Mum being on the phone. Lol.
We wondered how long the oldest bakery on Skye would survive?!
In the evening, we set off to the Granary restaurant in Portree, which turned out to be a good recommendation from the internet. (Thanks internet).
